Abstract: A low inductance sliding spark has been developed as a light source for operation in the vacuum ultraviolet(50 $\mathring{A}<\lambda<2000 \mathring{A}$). Compared to Millikan's spark a low breakdown voltage is obtained. A reproducible, intense line radiation was observed down to 65 $\mathring{A}$. The main part of the line spectrum was emitted from the insulator disk separating the electrodes. From strong line radiation of Al VII the electron temperature of the sliding spark was estimated to be approximately 2·10$^{5}$ $^{0}$K using Saha's and Boltzmann's formulae.
